Very! when I bought it i'm sure the guy told me that it was 75L so it seems nobody has any idea... not even the manufacturers! lol

Do you have a 10 litre bucket or something and see how many buckets it takes to fill it??

Ok guys we'll go for 100kg including decor then so what do you reckon about putting it on 2nd floor in the corner? My concern was its only a small footprint not like say a 3 ft spread or am I just panacking over nothing?
